Please accept my sincere condolences on cousin Mike's passing. Both of your parents were a source of great support in 1968 when I was hospitalized with a ruptured appendix and peritonitis. Mike and Mary DeMaria were truly wonderful people and I was blessed to know them and to be related to them.

I remember Uncle Mike as a most kind and considerate person, a gentleman in the truest sense of the word. We treasure the memories of time spent with him.

To the DeMaria family, please accept my sincere condolence. May you find comfort thru the Word of God. "He will actually swallow up death forever, and the Sovereign Lord Jehovah will certainly wipe the tears from all faces..."-Isa. 25:8.
